Aah! I was referring to the summary of the relocations, that just
mentioned the potential replacements, without further (re)explanation.
I just found that bit unfamiliar and surprising, but it didn't occur to
me that it was to cover Thumb, which I never got all that familiar with
in the first place, and haven't even thought about in a very long time.
Thanks!
